New on the Menu: Spicy Ramen

One of our favorite noodle dishes in the city is Ajitama Ramen by Sukidesu Davao. It is tasty and costs only PhP99. The best ramen you can get for less than a hundred pesos. They also serve Chasu Ramen, Black Ramen, and Miso Ramen.

And now, they add Spicy Ramen to satisfy the cravings of those who want their ramen hot and spicy. Their Spicy Ramen has a rich flavorful broth and firm noodles. It is topped with pork, mushrooms, seaweed, and a delicate ajitama.

What makes it different is their super thick, super spicy sauce doused right on top of the pork chasu. And it is sprinkled with even more pepper. This ramen should come with a warning. It is definitely not for those with weak tastebuds. Sukidesu’s Spicy Ramen is definitely deliciously spicy. A bowl is priced at only PhP109.

But wait. There is more to satisfy your spice cravings. So much more.

March 1 is Plan a Solo Vacation Day. Yes, there is such holiday. And luckily for you and me, both Cebu Pacific Air, Philippine Airlines, and AirAsia are having epic seat sales this month. Plus, summer is almost here so today is the perfect time to plan your Solo Trip to Davao. We have shared itineraries in the past but this time, we have prepared a special Davao Itinerary for Solo Travelers. And just in time for Araw ng Dabaw, too.

Where to Stay

First, we have a few suggestions for where you might want to stay.

Park Inn by Radisson Davao is on top of our list.

Stay at Park Inn by Radisson Davao.
Disclaimer: Do not judge Park Inn based on that photo. Somebody had laid down on the bed before I took a photo.

Our editor Ria recommends Park Inn for their facilities and beautiful but reasonably priced rooms. Another plus is their proximity to a mall. Park Inn is located right beside SM Lanang Premier. That is a convenient thing for solo travelers because you can easily shop and dine just by crossing a footbridge. There is a 7-eleven on the Ground Floor of SM Lanang Premier. ATMs are also conveniently located nearby.

Park Inn also just a few steps away from the entrance to the SMX Convention Center. So if you are traveling to attend a conference or other events at SMX, Park Inn is your best option.

It is not exactly located in downtown Davao but Park Inn is near several restaurants, malls, and other destinations. And it is near the jump off points and marinas of popular beach destinations. So while it is not at the center of the city, it is at a convenient location.

More Recommendations on Where To Stay

Our correspondent Athina recommends RedDoorz (Aljems Inn) located right in the middle of downtown. The RedDoorz listed as RedDoorz near San Pedro Cathedral is known to locals as Aljems Inn. It has been around quite a while. They have rooms you can book via the RedDoorz app for as low as PhP873.

Just download the app from the App Store or the Google Play Store, enter Davao as your destination and it will come up with options for you to book. All hotels and inns in their listing are branded as RedDoorz and have similar looks and amenities as all other RedDoorz listings.

If adobo is the Philippines’ national dish, we think Halo-Halo should be declared as the national dessert. Filipinos and tourists love to eat halo-hallo whatever the weather may be. Especially, when the sun is scorching hot. And of all the halo-halo in the entire archipelago, foodies have declared that the creamiest is Mang Inasal Halo-Halo.

Halo-halo is a popular Filipino dessert which is a rich concoction of various ingredients such as nata de coco, ube, leche flan, pinipig rice, etc. mixed with evaporated milk, all topped in crushed ice and with the option to put ube or vanilla ice cream on top. It can be said that halo-halo represents everything deliciously sweet and indulgent in the Philippines. It contains specialties from around the country. And it has many different permutations in every part of the Philippines.

From full meals to light snacks and delightful desserts, The Vegan Dinosaur has all your vegan cravings covered.

Salads

The Vegan Dinosaur serves up filling healthy salads. Of course.

People automatically think greens and tofu when they hear vegan cuisine. The Vegan Dinosaur has all of it in one irresistible dish. Tofu cooked barbeque style on top of corn, lettuce, and onions. With a creamy dressing to bring it all together. It might be a bit cliche but it is definitely not boring.

Full Meals by the Vegan Dinosaur

People assume that vegan dishes are boring, light, and can hardly make you full and satisfied. Vegan Dinosaur proves that assumption wrong with their meal offerings that will satisfy even non-vegan diners.

Blogger Miel picks the Spicced Asian as one of her favorites by the Vegan Dinosaur.

The Spiced Asian contains Tofu Teriyaki, Black Rice, Salad, and Kimchi.

The Spiced Asian is a complete meal with Teriyaki Tofu as the focus of the plate. The savory tofu is accompanied by Black Rice, a side salad, and kimchi. It is a delightful dish bursting with Asian flavors. It will make your tummy full without the guilt.

And here’s another blogger recommended dish, Chickpea Meatballs.

Here’s another filling dish to try: Chickpea Meatballs. Technically, those are not meatballs. But it is just as flavorful and filling. The Chickpea Balls are doused in Sun-dried Tomatoes. Plus, it comes with Black Rice and a side salad with Ranch Dressing. This dish is recommended by Shannen.

Vegan Snacks and Light Meals

If you want something lighter but still as yummy, The Vegan Dinosaur has a menu filled with various dishes that are perfect as snacks or light meal options.

Whether you like them simple or bursting with filling, The Vegan Dinosaur has the perfect healthy wrap to make you happy.
